This useful book on newer preaching styles is designed for students and experienced clergy alike. It consists of nine chapters, each treating a different contemporary approach to preaching, such as:

• Narrative
• Evangelistic
• African American
• Topical
• Pastoral
• Biblical
• Literary
• Imaginative

Each chapter is illustrated by sermons from well-known preachers including Tony Campolo, Barbara Brown Taylor, Sam Proctor, Fred Craddock, William Willimon, Ronald Allen and others. This book will prove to be an invaluable travel guide to the homiletical landscape, and it will aid pastors who want to keep their sermons fresh, invigorating and relevant to the life experiences of their congregations.
